A method, comprising:
- monitoring, at a server, a reverse data channel usable by a plurality of client devices;
- selecting, by the server, a subset of the plurality of client devices based at least in part on one or more conditions of the monitored reverse data channel;
- transmitting filtering information to each client device of the subset, the filtering information providing each client device of the subset with criteria for sending data via the reverse data channel;
- and
- receiving, at the server, reporting data from each client device of the subset via the reverse data channel, the reporting data in accordance with the filtering information.
